Discover the wonders of the Kona Coast with Aukai Adventures. We invite both visitors and residents to witness the stunning backdrop of volcanoes and breathe in the tranquil breezes of this rare paradise. While there are many ways to explore the island's exquisite beauty and captivating tranquility, we offer an ocean-going vessel to connect you with nature's brilliance and inspire adventurers of all ages.
Aukai Adventures is founded in gratitude, respect, and a deeply humble spirit of both land and water.
As the sun and the moon work the changes of the tides, we have witnessed the Kona Coast play its music to the unpredictable rhythm of humanity. Serenity births, whales breach, dolphins spin, and we as humans are reminded momentarily, if not forever, of our home within the depths of mother earth.

Frequently Asked Questions
We love having kids aboard! From our experience, 5 years and up tends to be the magic age. Please inform us upon reservation as to how many kids and what ages, as we are required to have the proper safety equipment onboard.
Our boat offers a variety of features but unfortunately does not have restroom facilities on-board. We recommend using the restrooms at the Marina before your trip and we make sure to take frequent "breaks" out in the water during our swimming and snorkeling portion of the adventure. If you have a physical limitations or special needs, please message us and we will do everything we can to accommodate you!
We depart daily from the world famous Honokohau Harbor on the Kona Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. We meet at the pier/boat ramp just North of the restrooms. See map below or follow our directions.
Typically the air temperature will be around 70 degrees in the early morning and will rise to 85 at midday. The sea temperature will be 76 to 80 degrees. Seasonal changes are not real dramatic and fluctuations in these air/sea temperatures will only vary a few degrees. In short, almost every day is a great day for Kona sportfishing, sighseeing and snorkeling! Attire should be light and include a hat, sunscreen, camera and sunglasses.
If, for any reason, attire requirements deviate you will be informed the day before your trip (make sure we have a good contact number for you).
We offer two time slots for our trips: a morning charter lasting 5 hours and an afternoon charter lasting 4 hours. We also offer upgrades or all-day bookings if you are interested.

Just select your preference when you book your trip, and we'll do our best to make your adventure unforgettable!
